Lyrics Call To Arms - The Black Angels

Call To Arms

He drives a 90,000 dollar jaguar to work everyday
He put his wife and kids in the zoo, cuz he had nothing left to do
Nothing left to do.
Oh, Boo- hoo-hoo, Boo-hoo-hoo
He bought a ticket for heaven, but it expired in june
The gun went off, but it was never on
The trigger to the finger, the finger to the trigger
One eye took the aim, just behind the man’s brain
But who is to blame?
I just think he’s plain jane
Plain, plain jane
When i awoke, my head was up off the ground
Nature spinning, oh but shes makin no sound
Blessed she tells us all that she knows
Yeah let the people live
Let the riches flow
I found, well i found you at the fault
And it didn’t mean, nothin' at all
You keep your money in stocks at the county garbage dump
You spend your days on tar, at the local gas pump
You came in on your own, and you’ll leave all alone
You came in on your own, and you’ll leave all alone
As a start we off’d go down the path
Of fields of gold, a vision that soon will pass
A great mistake, the diamond on his face
Black as night, where the coral snake will strike
But i found, well i found, you at the fall
And it didn’t mean, nothin' at all
HIDDEN TRACK:
Yesterday I got a letter,
From my friend, writing in Iraq.
And this is what he had to say:
'Tell all my friends, I’ll be coming home soon,
My time will be up, sometime in June.'
Oh, ohh.
'Don't forget,' he said,
'To tell my sweet Lindsey.
Her rich, brown eyes,
As sweet as honey.'
And he’s fighting in Iraq.
He’s fighting in Iraq.
He’s fighting in the Iraq War.
What for?
Well it was just the next day,
His mother, got a telegram.
It was addressed from Iraq.
Oh, oh.
Now Mistress Brown,
She lives in the U.S. of A.
And this is what she wrote to say:
'Don't be alarmed, Mistress Brown,'
The telegram read.
'But your son is dead.
Oh, your son is dead.'
And he’s fighting in Iraq.
He’s fighting in Iraq.
In the Iraq War.
He’s fighting in Iraq.
In the Iraq War, war.
Someone stop that war.
Somebody please stop that war.
Somebody stop that war.
Somebody stop that war now.
Please stop that war.
